Redefining Fulfillment: What It Really Means to Be a Satisfied Woman (My Interview on the Rawish Podcast with Kate Eckman)
Have you ever done everything right—checked all the boxes, hit all the milestones, followed the rules—and still felt like something was missing?
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. And this is exactly what I dove into with the radiant Kate Eckman on her Rawish Podcast in one of the most soul-igniting conversations I’ve had in a long time.
We went deep. We got raw. We explored the heart of what it means to live as a truly satisfied woman—and why so many of us have no idea what that actually looks or feels like.
The Lie of “Never Enough”
From the time we're little girls, we’re taught that our value lies in how much we give, how little we need, and how well we can hold it all together with a smile on our face. We’re trained to say “yes,” to overwork, overgive, overextend—and then wonder why we’re exhausted, resentful, and unfulfilled.
In the episode, I shared how I too bought into this story. I became wildly successful on paper—running a multi-seven-figure business, marrying a high-achieving man, living in New York City. And yet? I felt hollow. Alone. Deeply disconnected from my feminine essence.
That’s when I knew something had to change. I burned it all down. I sold the business. I left the marriage. I walked away from the image of success I had worked so hard to build—and I began the journey of reclaiming my true power. My feminine power.
What Does It Mean to Be a Satisfied Woman?
Let me be clear: satisfaction is not a KPI. It’s not the number in your bank account, your relationship status, or how well your life fits into someone else’s mold.
Satisfaction is a feeling—a pleasure derived from the fulfillment of your wishes and needs.
And guess what? That definition is deeply feminine. Our culture tells us that we should chase success the masculine way: hustle harder, push through, achieve at all costs. But the feminine way? She’s receptive. She’s intuitive. She flows. She values pleasure, communion, creativity, and connection.
And yes—she says no.
We talked a lot about the power of “no” in this episode. The yes is killing us. Every time we say yes to something that drains us, we say no to our own vitality, to our own intuition, to our own satisfaction. So I invite you: start saying no. Not out of rebellion, but out of reverence for your energy, your time, and your worth.
Sisterhood, Not Competition
Another powerful moment in the conversation was when Kate and I unpacked how women have been pitted against each other—by a patriarchal system that thrives when we’re isolated, burned out, and in competition.
Here’s the truth: no woman is your competition. Every woman you meet is carrying the same weight, navigating the same cultural expectations, and trying to find her own way back to herself. Let’s stop tearing each other down and start adjusting each other’s crowns.
Let’s return to the circle. The way our foremothers gathered. The way women are meant to be—in community, in conversation, in collaboration.
You Get to Choose
This is the gift of the time we live in: for the first time in history, women have more agency, opportunity, and choice than ever before. That doesn’t make it easy—but it does make it possible. You get to choose what satisfaction looks like for you.
Maybe it’s raising a family. Maybe it’s running a business. Maybe it’s a little bit of both—or something else entirely. What matters most is that it’s your choice. Not theirs. Not society’s. Yours.
As I said on the podcast: a satisfied woman is dangerous. She’s powerful. She knows her worth, owns her desires, and walks her path unapologetically. And the world isn’t quite sure what to do with her… which is exactly why we need more of us.
Tune In and Feel the Shift
If you’re ready to stop chasing someone else’s idea of success and start reconnecting with your own feeling of satisfaction, I hope you’ll tune in to this powerful episode.
